1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (MT-ZVL) remains endemic in China and has re-emerged in recent years, with its geographic distribution demonstrating signs of progressive expansion. What is added by this report?: Drawing on 15 years of national surveillance data, this study demonstrates a clear resurgence after 2015, a shift in high-risk populations from scattered children to farmers and older adults, and eastward and northward expansion of transmission risk areas. What are the implications for public health practice?: These findings provide evidence that control strategies should prioritize interventions targeting farmers and elderly-focused interventions, strengthen surveillance in newly affected counties, and implement geographically targeted vector and reservoir control measures.
